cool tut. learned something new.

Checkered Deselect, what is this magic :O

also hi

@Borgleader Hi

@gandalf3 and others do you think this should be on video.se?

@David Sounds like the videos are only too long when in blender

I think

@gandalf3 possibly, which is why I left it here.

XD

@David Sintel Gooseberry crossover!

The two best fandoms combined

The thing is, I didn't really like either :)

@David XD

I thought you all might like that :)

very neat video from ideasman42 that will have you saying "wow."

i have a question please help me

is there a way to produce sounds with respective intensity in each collision?

??

@David s/ideasman42/dfelinto

Observations on the blender docs

@David this guy has the same gravatar! O.o

!!

@GiantCowFilms wow. I was going to say "copy cat," but then I saw that his account is a month older then mine!

@David That is awesome!

@David But you could have had the icon first...???

sup gise

nu much

btw novice was it you I had the discussion about the bge with?

that one has to use the actuators and stuff

@David what doies GPU latency mean in the profiler?

and don't you dare say "the latency of the GPU"

@Jonathan I think it was GiantCow

@NoviceInDisguise alright :)

@RadishoftheOpera so radish could i ask you a question about bge? maybe you encountered this problem too

sure.

go ahead

kk so:

when you put a keyboard key as a boolean variable like this: w_active = bge.logic.KX_INPUT_ACTIVE = bge.logic.keyboard.event(bge.events.WKEY)

and you put it in a separate module and then import from the module into a script

strange thing is it wont work somehow

but there is nothing in the console

like I define the run animation call it run_ani() and then it goes like if w_active: run_ani()

it knows w_active is a boolean and its state is false

but somehow it wont work

so, are you holding the key down?

yup

strange thing is when I put it like this it works: if bge.logic.KX_INPUT_ACTIVE = bge.logic.keyboard.event(bge.events.WKEY): run_ani()

it somehow cannot set the state of the boolean to true.

when I press w and print the variable it says that it stays false

wwhy aren't you setting the state separately and the playing the animation when it's true??

strange thing I'll post a question anyway

yup I set the state separately in another module and then import it as variable w_active

but it wont change the state to true then

weird.

yeahm I'm not really great at python, but logic brick wise, I think you should put the variable as a property and just change it with a toggle brick.

@RadishoftheOpera Well about the logic bricks. I just teached myself how to not use them and code it in python instead, so probably not my choice. ^^

@RadishoftheOpera But thank you I bet it would work out like this.

ah. I taught myself to never code and always brick. :D

@RadishoftheOpera It's the easier way lol but it's not as sexy as coding it right out.

you calling me un-sexy? gasp

lol

haha you got me wrong there, super sexy you lol

Well anyways here is the question let's see how it turns out: blender.stackexchange.com/questions/35893/…

It going to monster or codmanX who answer it. or david.

@Jonathan so what game are you working on anyway?

@RadishoftheOpera It's kind of an Action RPG, kinda like a Zelda or Alundra.

top down style? cool!

@RadishoftheOpera There's some little bit of story, a bunch of maps and some multiplayer content

can you talk to poepl like in Zelda?

@Jonathan you got multi player to work! instruct me master, I am your humble servant

@RadishoftheOpera yup, the whole thing, talking to NPCs, smashing mobs, bossfights, new weapons/armor, items, skill system, and so on

@Jonathan dang! you have a thread on BA?

Lol I still gotta find out myself how to do that properly ^^'

they would love it

@RadishoftheOpera Not yet, but now you gave me the impulse lol

btw it won't be top down exactly it will be waaayy cooler

nice

with prerendered maps and different perspectives kinda like Final fantasy 7

right now I'm working on an fps where you run through hell to make toast and coffee for breakfast

hahaha what a fresh idea

is it like low or highpoly?

yeah, my ideas are usually like that. my last one was called extreme fish punching and the one before was about a spellthowing squid.

XD

@Jonathan low. my toaster is 1080

@RadishoftheOpera Well I'd call it middle then lol

not really...

@RadishoftheOpera So it's more arcade like, you go through the level, complete it, then enter highscore and stuff?

you can 't make a toaster much lower

are there enemies, or weapons? or is it more about puzzle style jump n run?

@Jonathan well, kinda, you make toast on Tuesday, and it's 100% normal, but as you progress throught the week, it gets worse, until moday hits and there meteors falling from the sky and demons trying to eat you.

muahahhaha!!!

man that week system remind me of postal

quite cool

that's the plan anyway. I'm still on Tuesday... I just started.

so do you like have a ba thread for this?

and then you die, whether or not you did well, because you run out of coffee, which is an essential to human life

@Jonathan no... D:

my projects usually die before I finish, so i'll wait until I have at least 1 level to show.

@RadishoftheOpera so if you give it the necessary consitency this might even be put on steam

consistency in terms of highscore lol

@Jonathan I wish

the sell all kinds of shit there nowadays, rpgmaker games and stuff lol

i know... how the greats have fallen...

@RadishoftheOpera for me it's more like "how the ungreat(us) can rise"

look they even have an own tag for it lol store.steampowered.com/tag/browse/…

llol

fail

im having trouble making all the clutter on my kitchen counter.. this is going to take forever

@RadishoftheOpera I'd love to help you, maybe I can provide you with some assets.

okay... lemme take a pic real quick...

this is going to be embarrassing.

@RadishoftheOpera think I have a pretty decent plate with a piece of cheese and a cheese knife somewhere

or a soda can, a wine bottle, stuff like that

and a giant sandwich

okay, that'll work...

wait, a giant sandwich?

like 5 layers

:O

that sounds like heaven. we're trying to make hell here, remember? lol

I'm goingt o make my disgusting sink

right, lol, maybe you can take the cheese and salami away and put like some gross stuff on it with an eyeball instead of an olive on top

@RadishoftheOpera a disgusting sink sounds fun lol

@RadishoftheOpera I can just send you a photo of mine and you can then use it with discplacement modifier and stuff lol

@Jonathan no thanks, mine is bad enough. XD. theres something dying in the garbage disposal i think. :O

@RadishoftheOpera that's the thing about throwing away meat, it might first come back to live somehow and then die again

eww....

@gandalf3 hi, do you know about the bge?

@Jonathan What about it specifically?

@gandalf3 It is a strange issue I posted it here: blender.stackexchange.com/questions/35893/…

@gandalf3 basically it's about a model where I assign a keyboard key boolean to a variable. then I import that variable into a script and it won't change its state to True

I see

module not model

strange little issue I cants find out what's the problem

I don't think w_active is being set to what you want

Let me test some things..

oh yeah I forgot a = there

but just in the question

ah

just make a script call it something like keyboardtest put one key in it for example w_active = bge.logic.KX_INPUT_ACTIVE == bge.logic.keyboard.events(bge.events.WKEY) then put the module into the module folder and import it to any object's python controller with an always sensor

maybe you can add print(w_active) it will show you that it stays false

well that was a little messy: basically import the key variable to a script and you'll see that it wont change to True

@gandalf3 alex was here again...

They haven't done anything though, have they?

no

still creepy as heck though

:P

@RadishoftheOpera Oh great

Need a ping a thon

ready to spamwhen you are

@gandalf3 So, did you see what I mean?

@RadishoftheOpera They must be the most skilled troll ever. Their very presence instills agitation in even the fearless guardians of Stack Exchangia, one of the few mighty bastions of troll-free territory remaining in the troubled lands of Interland. As the chilling shadow passes, even the mighty King of Radish Operas and the mythical Disguiser of Novices feel misgivings and begin to plan a first assault, in uncertain anticipation of the sudden revelation of a Legendary Troll™

wow. you should quit and take up poetry.

:P

that does sound like quite some troll you talk about there lol

legendary.

@Jonathan I'll give it a test

It's actually quite simple

just make a separate module for the keyboard variable, put it in the module folder, go into blender game, put an always sensor on true with a python controller on a cube and then write a script for it which goes like import bge, keyboardmodule

*print(keyboardmodule.key)

and when you run it and press the key the console will show you it is still false

the problem seems to be that the boolean for the key is in a separate module and gets imported.

hmm

I hope there is a workaround or it destroys my plan to make a keyboard module :(

I must be doing something wrong

It doesn't like the bge.logic.KX_INPUT_ACTIVE == bge.logic.keyboard.events(bge.events.WKEY) bit

And throws a type error

TypeError: 'dict' object is not callable

awww

forgot one thing

the bge.event.WKEY is in [] brackets

typed it wrong in the question

Ah, that make sense

Works for me now

does the boolean change to True?

yup

Should I upload the .blend?

did you import it from another module?

yes please!

pasteall.org/blend/37611

is keyboardmodule.key() a function?

yes

Perhaps that's not what you wanted..

how does it go?

It's in the keyboardmodule.py text datablock embedded in the .blend

It just returns the result of bge.logic.KX_INPUT_ACTIVE == bge.logic.keyboard.events[bge.events.WKEY]

so it goes like def key(): return bge.logic.KX_INPUT_ACTIVE == bge.logic.keyboard.events[bge.events.WKEY] ?

yes

well I check it out how it works when putting it in a function, seems to be the workaround I was looking for, thanks a lot ^^

I would guess that the w_active variable wasn't being re-evaluated when you pressed the W key, if it wasn't in a function before

Yeah I had something like this in mind too.

When you put it directly into the script it will define the variable again each time it runs.

But anyways, it works now, thanks a lot!

:)

Just got yourself a free copy of the game as soon as it is done lol

:D

Ok I'm out for today, see you guys!

@Jonathan You don't have to delete your question, it could be useful for future users

@gandalf3 Oh you're right!

I'll write up an answer

@gandalf3 Maybe you can answer it, I'll undelete it

aight

:)

ok I undeleted it, let's hope for future noobs finding the advice they deserve so much. Good night!

oh yeah if you cant access it here it is: blender.stackexchange.com/questions/35893/…

bye

Thanks, later then o/

@GiantCowFilms true. I did not think of that.

@RadishoftheOpera where are you seeing the gpu latency?

@RadishoftheOpera "latency is the time taken to transfer a block of data either from main memory or GPU caches." taken from here

whazzup

nothing as of right now

@David so bassically, my computer is freakishly slow and i can't do anyhting about ti?

hello! . . . hello! . . . . hello . . . . . hellooooooo . . . . . . helloooooooooooooooo

@NoviceInDisguise Hi

Very busy around here . . .

@RadishoftheOpera huh?

@NoviceInDisguise just plain "hi" suffices for me.
